​
AT THE BEGINNING OF 2024 I SHALL BE LEADING TWO CONFERENCES ON A SIMILAR THEME:
​
The Return of the Light a silent retreat at Lee Abbey, North Devon
22-26 January 2024
This will be a retreat for those who are seeking to travel as pilgrims of light-filled hope in a world that is too often shrouded in darkness. The house will be in silence from Monday night to Thursday tea-time.
For more information and booking go to this page on the Lee Abbey website
​
​
The Return of the Light A conference at Scargill House, North Yorkshire
5-9 February 2024
During this conference, Michael will draw from the insights of the theologian, priest and preacher, Fleming Rutledge. Her work on the Cross, judgement, the return of Christ and spiritual warfare has been much acclaimed.

Pilgrimages: Each year I lead Pilgrimages with Russ Parker
​
All pilgrimages are to sites connected to our Celtic Christian history.
In June 2023 we led a pilgrimage to Cornwall. In 2024 we are planning pilgrimages to Wales, Ireland and Cornwall. It currently looks as if all these are fully booked, but check with me if you are interested in them.
The Call of the Wild - the Feel of the Holy
Lee Abbey, North Devon
29 April - 3 May 2024
Russ and I have been invited to lead a pilgrimage based in the beautiful setting of Lee Abbey. See this page on the Lee Abbey website for information and booking details.

some feedback from a recent retreat...
‘Amazing speaker. He had done so much preparation to bring everything alive. He spoke on difficult subjects which need airing, as they impact our lives and journey with God.’
‘Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Michael – who is such an engaging, delightful speaker.’
‘Michael Mitton is an excellent speaker, nice use of humour throughout.’
‘Michael is an inspiring speaker: wise, informative and amusing.’
​
Michael is a delightful and engaging speaker - he is one of those individuals who leaves an imprint on your mind and his sense of calm and kindness is something I have remembered on a number of occasions this week and tried to invoke while teaching turbulent secondary school pupils!
Michael is an excellent speaker and I really valued his creative and imaginative approach.
I found Michael’s beautiful presentations really helpful. I liked the way he made such good use of visual images, video clips, poetry and stories from the lives of the saints.
